The Strategy Analyst Pack
A McKinsey engagement runs into six figures and a room of analysts, and AI already does about 40 percent of that analyst's work per Forrester. This runs the analyst layer of a strategy engagement on your own inputs, in your own Claude. 8 prompts build the market entry analysis, the competitor teardown, the synergy or business case with base, downside, and upside, the expert-call synthesis, a self-check that re-derives every number, the board deck outline, and the recommendation memo. The work a team of analysts drafts over six weeks, in an afternoon, with a named human applying the judgment.
Rent it forever, or own it once.

Path A
Set it up yourself
The setup prompt and 8 task prompts are below — free. The cost is your time, and the risk of wiring it wrong on live data.
Jump to the prompts ↓Path B
We wire it into your business
We would deliver a private strategy workspace: the prompts loaded into your Claude tenant, connectors to your market-data and internal sources, the self-check wired so no unverified number reaches the board, and a recommendation memo and steering deck in your house style. Done with you, then handed over so you own it.

I want to set this up properly so Claude runs the analyst layer of a strategy engagement on my real inputs, not a one-off chat. Walk me through it step by step, do not skip anything. Treat me like a founder, operator, or strategy lead who has never built a Claude Project and does not write code. Define every term once. This is NOT a Terminal or coding install. There is nothing to compile. It is a private Claude Project where the market data and the brief live. ## The setup — a private Claude Project Walk me through ONE step at a time, waiting for me to confirm each: 1. **What I need.** A Claude account on a paid plan so I can pin the better model. Pin **Opus 4.8**. Nothing to install. 2. **Make the workspace.** In Claude, create a new **Project** named for the decision or the deal. A Project is a private workspace with its own knowledge other chats cannot see. My data stays in my own tenant. 3. **Load the inputs.** Drop in whatever I have: market reports, competitor info, financials, expert-call notes, and the brief. If I am thin on data, that is fine, the prompts will flag what is missing instead of inventing it. 4. **Run the vault.** Run prompt 01, pick what I am running (market entry, competitor teardown, business case, or the full board readout) and where my data is. Then run 02 to 08: market entry, competitor teardown, the business case, the synthesis, the self-check, the board deck outline, and the recommendation memo. 5. **Gate it.** Treat prompt 06 (the self-check) as a hard stop. A **GATE: FAILED** means a number did not reconcile; fix it before the board deck. This is decision support, not the decision. A named executive owns the call. ## Rules for walking me through this - One step at a time. Define every term once: Project, knowledge, market sizing, segment, entry barrier, business case, payback, base/downside/upside case, synthesis, review gate. - Do NOT tell me a step is "not possible." If I cannot find the Project button, it is in the left sidebar of claude.ai. - The prompts must never invent a market number. If the data is not there, they flag it. - This does the analyst work; a named human applies judgment and decides. Not investment or legal advice. First message: ask me "What are you running: a market entry analysis, a competitor teardown, a business case, or the full board readout? And what inputs do you have to upload?" Then start step 1.

where it breaks
Before you connect live data
- • Run dummy data first. Real client data is not a test bed.
- • API keys never go in a public repo. Use env vars and a secrets manager.
- • Add logging, access control, monitoring, and a rollback path before launch.
- • Read the license. Forking a repo without checking is how lawsuits start.
